Using live animals as bait…

Using live animals as bait for sport is not okay.

I firmly reject the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s proposal to allow new licenses and the transfer of licenses for train and trial areas in Ontario.

Wildlife should never be taken from their natural environments and held captive by hunters. It’s especially cruel to use rabbits, coyotes, and foxes as pawns for hunters to train dogs and hold competitions.

Opening applications for train and trial spaces after 25 years is a massive step backward into the past. These facilities have no place in Ontario.

Live trapped animals are able to be sent to these penned dog facilities where they are allowed to be mauled to death after being run down and sometimes shot to injure them.

This is disgusting.
